There are hardly any people around these days who choose health over comfort these days as they return home from work or school.
Instead of devoting some quality time on the pitch or field, the obvious choice is being a couch potato or a computer gaming nerd.
It does not really matter how serious about a sport you are.
The main idea is to play it.
Here are some good pointers on why to play a sport instead of staying indoors.
If a good body is what you want, sitting in front of the TV will not help you.
The muscles will develop and figure will tone itself up only if you make the effort of exerting some physical pressure in the form of an outdoor sport.
The more time you spend in a field the more people you get to know.
Since they too share the same interest, it is a good way to make more pals who aren't your colleagues or classmates.
Plus, no other activity can help you rejuvenate your mind and body after work, while providing you with excellent work out.
The constant thought process that goes into the various aspects of a sport like keeping points, making strategies, etc.
engage the brain which sharpens it.
Your boos at work will never complain if you return to work every day with an alert brain.
Under the proper guidance, one day you can also be a master of a certain kind of sport.
If all that remains is deciding on which sport to play, then you need not worry.
Pick an sport you like and choose one where you believe that you can be an asset to the team even as a beginner.
Then just get the equipments and start training.
In some special cases you might need some help in choosing your equipments.
An experienced and professional coach can be very helpful in those times.
Once you get into the habit of playing a sport and actually enjoying it, you'll realize how much better it is than just being a vegetable staring at the TV screen all day.
